Materials Needed:
Duration: 45 minutes
Procedure:
• Ask students if anyone knows what a noun is. Encourage them to share their thoughts.
• Explain that a noun is a word used to name a person, place, thing, or idea.
• Provide examples of nouns for each category: person (e.g., teacher), place (e.g., school), thing
(e.g., book), idea (e.g., love).
• Common nouns are general names for people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., boy, city, book).
• Proper nouns are specific names for people, places, things, or ideas and always begin with a
capital letter (e.g., John, Paris, Harry Potter).
• Ask students to identify which nouns are common and which are proper.
• Instruct students to read each sentence and underline or circle the nouns they find.
• Once completed, review the sentences as a class, identifying and discussing the nouns in each.
• Instruct the groups to brainstorm and write down as many nouns as they can think of within a
specific category (e.g., animals, foods, professions).
• After a few minutes, have each group share their lists with the class, discussing any nouns that
may be unfamiliar.

proper nouns, and how to identify nouns in sentences.
• Encourage students to continue practicing identifying and using nouns in their writing.
Assessment:
